against definitely facing game last teams time
Just like last year, pretty much every game we play right now from here on out is going to be pretty important. And they're definitely important against the teams we are facing right now. We've just got to take one game at a time and go from there.
definitely game hate pet taken time
I hate being taken out of the game from the mound. It's just a pet peeve of mine. I never want that to happen. I always want to be taken out while I'm in the dugout, but it was definitely time for me to come out.
felt game
This whole game I felt like I did pretty good,
came felt fifth game good telling truth
I don't know if he was telling me the truth or not, but he said he felt pretty good. He actually came up to me and told me I'm going to have a good game to set him up to have a good game on the fifth day.
expect game last pain sore
I didn't know what to expect today. I was sore when I got up this morning, and I was really sore after the game last night. But it wasn't pain and that's the important thing.
ball game good outing team
I just want to go out there and give my team a good outing and keep us in the ball game as long as possible.
dugout feet games knowing sitting team wait watching wet
It's been tough. Sitting there in the dugout and watching your team play knowing that I'm not going to have anything to do with the game. Especially in games that we lose, it's really hard. I'm back now and I just can't wait to get my feet wet again.

It's just a shame that I had to work so hard to get through the innings and get my pitch count up so I couldn't stay in the game a little longer.

It's going to be a little different when the games start rolling around, the electricity of the fans, just getting the season under way.
game less pitch runs series
I try to pitch every game like it's a World Series game, ... I try not to give up any runs and, if I do, to give up less runs than we score.
deserve fans great win
I think (it would be fitting) for the fans especially, ... The fans deserve it; we deserve it. It would be great to go out and win tomorrow.
adam eric seem turned wound
Man. I was just ... actually, probably, I don't know, ... I was so wound up. It didn't seem like we probably were going to get it. I thought it would be tied. But Eric and (shortstop) Adam (Everett) turned it, and here we are.
felt hopefully miss rehab start tested throwing
I tested it with throwing it pretty hard, and throwing a lot of pitches. I felt good. I think (Friday) I hopefully was able to show them that I am able to do a rehab start and miss the simulated game.
baseball great help pitching taught
He's been a great help to me, just being so young and pitching and the things that he's taught me each and every day I go out there.
